Knesset relaunches English-language site

The Knesset opened a revamped version of its English-language website Sunday.

The legislature hopes to provide information about lawmaking in English to Diaspora communities and academics, combining in-depth articles about parliamentary issues and news updates, as well as updated schedules.

The site, which is edited by journalist Dan Bentsur, also includes a virtual tour of the Knesset.

"Our website is the Knesset's window to the world," Knesset Director-General Ronen Plott said of the launch, calling the new English website a significant upgrade from its previous version.
